Maybe I Should Vote For Trump????
OMG! No! My worst nightmare – Donald Trump in the Oval Office!
OMG! No! I hate to even use his name. Hate it even more to think of putting his picture up on my blog! So I will refrain.
But HATE is not a word I hold in any esteem.
What to do, what to do when the man and the whole GAME he is playing actually evokes these strong feelings in me, even leaving me feeling like throwing up!
But then, again, I read something, somewhere between now and my last Anastasia The Storyteller article titled, “Hillary I Am Counting On You To….” that got me taking a second look at this presidential contender DT, yukk!
And then, too, I had a VERY important talk yesterday with my cousin Sallie who is like a BIG sister to me, known her my whole life etc. etc. She says she is definitely voting for DT.
Should I have yukked her, you ask?
Well I’ve just gotta tell you that, for the first time ever in my life, during the 2008 presidential campaign cycle, I found myself getting into conflict with my dear cousin Sallie over those candidates.
Out of that I vowed –“Never going to happen again that I get into a polarized place with my cousin Sallie over politics or over anything else for that matter!”
Maybe you are struggling --- and – scared – as I am and many others (most others???? that I know) about our present political campaign crisis and the way it is reflecting our overall societal crises on every front imaginable.
What to do, what to do?
I’ve got a plan now to save my sanity in the midst of it all. I will be sharing it this week and inviting you into to it too on my new formatted program series, Conversations With Anastasia On The Art of Dialogue.”

Do you know....
Do you know there is so much to know about the expansion now taking place at New Horizons behind the scenes?
I hardly know where to begin. So I am offering you an appetizer to get us started in that direction.
Do you know that the New Horizons Small “Zones of Peace” Project has always been a HUGE package of programs, projects and tried and true, enduring principles, uniquely designed and organized to assist you, your family and friends, groups and organizations; civic, faith-based or business, to raise yourselves up to the higher realms of human potentiality, individually and collectively?
Do you know, also, -- BIG NEWS -- that my esteemed Possible Society In Motion Radio Show co-host, Jack Slattery will be leaving our show the end of this month?
Do you know that though Jack will/would dismiss any but the most humble expressions of my/our gratitude for the priceless contribution he has made to this program’s development and sparkle to date -- what he has contributed has, indeed, been beyond words and measure.
In other words – Jack's contribution has been priceless!
More on this over time as the impact Jack has made on shaping the Possible Society In Motion Radio Show – and me in doing this show will take some time for me to absorb, integrate and put back out to you – our loyal listeners.
Do you know that my solo radio show, the Anastasia The Storyteller Radio Show will now alternate with the new format of the Possible Society In Motion Radio Show. (The new format is intended to have more on-air guests and who knows what else???)
Meaning from now on, instead of the Possible Society In Motion airing every other Thursday evening as it has been for the past three years plus, tune in now – or continue listening in on podcast to Anastasia The Storyteller on bi-weekly alternating weeks, also at a new time -- 11:30 a.m.
Do you know that the Anastasia the Storyteller Radio Show is now offering “Conversations with Anastasia on the Art of Dialogue,” an ongoing “teaching series,” presently spotlighting how to do “dialogue versus debate,” a most timely topic in this crazy presidential election year.
Do you know that this new Anastasia The Storyteller series will balance off the wisdom blended with illustrative storytelling and current events of the Possible Society In Motion Radio Show with practical application guidance on how to successfully do "dialogue versus debate" to achieve the benefits of what has been our overarching theme on the Possible Society In Motion Radio Show, overcoming polarization.
Please join us – now -- for our exciting adventures!

The Program Plan
- Anastasia continues Lesson One; Collaboration, emphasizing that Dialogue is collaborative, Debate oppositional.
- Show Theme: Collaboration can transform problems into solutions and enhance unity and cooperation while debate will maintain the status quo and eventually pull even that under.
- Show Description: Using a combination of anecdote, storytelling, instruction and current media commentary analysis, Anastasia guides listeners to heighten their personal impact, quality of life and pleasure through developing a more conscious communication style. The principles of choosing to dialogue rather than debate as a purposeful pathway to a more relevant society are explored.
